CVE-2025-62593: pre-auth remote code execution in Ray-Project Ray

Attackers can execute arbitrary code against Ray developer instances by luring a developer’s browser to a crafted site; CVE-2025-62593. The flaw affects Ray releases prior to 2.52.0 (< 2.52.0) and requires only network access to the developer machine plus user interaction (a developer visiting a malicious webpage or receiving malvertising) and can be chained with a DNS rebinding attack targeting Firefox and Safari. The vulnerability stems from an insufficient browser-based guard that trusts the User-Agent header and enables code injection from web content.
